Toronto — June 1
The Extraordinary Leader Workshop presents
a proven framework for helping individuals make
a profound difference in their organization’s
results, and in their own performance and
development.
Minding the Gap and Fixing Weaknesses
Traditional assessments and needs analysis look for gaps.
And most 360 feedback tools focus on finding and fixing
weaknesses. This often leads to:
• Participants feeling beat up by feedback reports.
• Negative response or avoidance of 360 multi-rater
feedback tools.
• Erosion of confidence.
• Defensiveness and fear of making mistakes.
• Data denial and feedback phobia.
• Working on a weak area and only getting it to
average - with mediocre results.
• A belief that extraordinary leadership is achieved by
naturally gifted or “born leaders.”
Our deep research shows very clearly that it’s the
presence of strengths - not the absence of weak-
nesses - that defines highly effective leaders. Build-
ing strengths is proving to be the only way to move
from an average or ordinary leader to extraordinary
or exceptional.
What’s especially remarkable is how obtainable
extraordinary leadership is proving to be. A leader
needs to develop just three existing strengths out of
sixteen competencies to catapult his or her leadership
effectiveness from the 34th to the 80th percentile!

tem using strengths-based leadership development, on a
foundation of evidence-based approaches, producing a

competencies in five clusters that cause leaders and
their team/organizations to flounder or flourish.
• Understand the significant on-the-job performance
differences between “good” and “extraordinary”
leaders and the dramatic impact on his or her team/

more effective than fixing weaknesses.
• When to work on weaknesses.
• Understand and cut through the complex interplay of
strengths, weaknesses, and performance.

leadership feedback report, understand the report
structure, interpret the data, and learn how to use it
in a positive way for growth and development.
• Perform a step-by-step analysis of the personal
feedback report using a structured process with
individual and group exercises.
• Aligning and multiplying his or her unique strengths
and passion for improvement with the organization’s
needs.
• Research-based strength development using
Companion Competencies, cross-training, and non-
linear approaches to build an Individual Development
Plan.
• Identifying THE key competency for development
that will drive each participant’s broadest
improvement for his or her personal situation.
• Coaching, implementation follow through, and the
support processes/tools to make learning stick.
Zenger Folkman’s Strengths-Based
Leadership Development System is a
Revolution
The research and approaches used in this system were
first outlined in Zenger Folkman's bestselling books The
Extraordinary Leader: Turning Good Managers into Great
Leaders, How to Be Exceptional: Drive Leadership Suc-
cess by Magnifying Your Strengths and the Harvard Busi-
ness Review article “Making Yourself Indispensable.”
In a series of pre and post studies Zenger Folkman looked
at the impact of leaders choosing to fix weaknesses ver-
sus building on existing strengths. Twelve to 18 months
later the leaders who magnified their existing strengths
showed two - three times more improvement in leader-
ship effectiveness than leaders who worked on fixing their
weaknesses.
Why Strengths-based Leadership Development
Works Better:
• Building strengths is the only way to become
an extraordinary leader.
• A strengths focus produces up to three times
higher change and improvement.
• Profits, sales, engagement, morale, and
energy levels, turnover, health and safety, and
customer satisfaction skyrockets.
• The spectrum of development methods
broadens with cross-training and Companion
Competencies.
• Participant motivation to improve is much
higher.
• Organizational culture is much more positive
and energized.
• It’s a lot more fun to work on strengths!

Client Reviews
“I found The Extraordinary Leader 360 assessment and
personal development process very effective. Its competency
companion development guide provides a clear road map for
building on one's leadership strengths. It is measurably superior
to any 360 methodology I have previously seen and my only
regret is that The Extraordinary Leader was not available years
ago.
- Dr. Alan Harrison, Provost and Vice-Principal (Academic),
Queen's University
“At Boeing’s Aerospace Support division, we had concerns
about our level of employee commitment. Our work with the
Extraordinary Leader introduced us to the research showing
a connection between leadership effectiveness and employee
commitment. Partnering with Zenger Folkman, we created a
competency model, an on-line multi-rater feedback process,
and a workshop to help our leaders develop their strengths.
Using the ‘cross training’ approach; our leaders achieved an
across-the-board improvement of close to 15% in their year-
over-year employee commitment scores. Not only did our
best leaders get better, but our ‘average’ leaders and even
our poorest leaders showed marked improvement in their
leadership effectiveness and employee commitment scores.
This improvement was a critical factor in our qualifications
for the Malcolm Baldrige award, which our division won.”
– Dee Thomas, HR Director, Boeing Aerospace Support
“The workshop was excellent and feedback from all participants
has been extremely positive. I particularly enjoyed the way cur-
rent paradigms on developing leaders were challenged. I have
no doubt that those who attended will benefit from the experi-
ence and will, in turn, provide benefits for our organization.”
– J. Mateparae, Master General, New Zealand Defense Force
“The Extraordinary Leader class was one of the most powerful
and insightful programs I have ever attended. The 360-degree
profile gave me deep insights into how others perceive me as
a leader, and the course and follow-on coaching has paved an
exciting path for me to follow in developing my leadership skills.”
– Ricardo Fuchs, Vice President, Serv Corp, Inc.
“The Extraordinary Leader research caused us to rethink our
performance management philosophy. We revamped our
process to orient it more toward building employees’ strengths.
Theresultshavebeenremarkable.Wenowhaveamorebalanced
performance agreement, highlighting areas of strength, and
significant problems that must be fixed. The biggest change
has been in the energy people have for the performance
management process. It is now something that most employees
look forward to. How many companies can say that?”
– Mary Settle, Vice President of Human Resources,
BARD Access Systems
“…the path to greatness is really about building profound
strengths, rather than through relentlessly focusing on one’s
weaknesses."
